Pints and the Past

Welcome to the second episode of Pints and the Past. In this episode Chris and Jenny explore three of the big four Burton brewers: Salts, Allsopps and Worthington.

In their Victorian heyday they supplied beer across the world and significantly grew their pub estates. Listen to the stories of these major players and how they shaped a town and changed the face of the industry.
